A review by nibs
No Country Woman by Zoya Patel

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

I first heard of Zoya Patel from her contribution to the anthology After Australia. I looked into several authors from that book, and had her memoir on my TBR ever since. 

I recommended this book to so many friends while reading it (which bumped it up from 4 to 4.5 stars). As someone in Australia, I have many friends who have experienced the idea of not being Australian enough, being a kind of 'no country' person. Reading this has helped me understand their experiences more. Cultural identity in Australia is complex, and this book goes into it really well.
